The simple fact of the matter is that the only thing standing in the way of many of the biggest businesses in America investing ridiculous sums of money in the cannabis industry is outdated and nonsensical Federal law. Which could be set to change in the near future, given the way in which it goes entirely against everything the new industry stands for and the will of the people. 2016 saw more companies and investors than ever before actively looking into the prospect of getting into the weed industry at ground levels, which after just three years has been valued at more than $1 billion in Colorado alone. By the end of 2016, the total legal marijuana market in the United States was estimated at a whopping $7.1 billion. Suffice to say, this is the kind of cash investors at all levels cannot afford to ignore.
